A good month has past since I touched my car. I have been busy building and selling cars. Now since I finished one of my cars and put it on ebay 3days ago (tan ca18 coupe), I had some time to work on my car. So three days ago I went to an empty silvia clip, cutt the fire wall, took off all the lines and pedals, and found two 10 yen coins behined the dash. Two days ago I converted my car to rhd ( for motor instal reasons ) and swaped the 4lug to 5lug. Then yesteday, I met with some importent people, that gave me a set of spot welled mouts, (dummy mounts). I installed the motor, made the nessisary modifications to the mounts, and now the motor sits in there very nice, as well as, I use the stock ka drive shaft. Tomarrow, Im meeting with the guys, to take some measurements, for them to make as much of a flush, mout kit as possible. As far as the mounts I can not go into detail, untill the are in production. I will uninstal the motor tomarrow and my dummy mounts will be gone, but then will get a set of the final product next week, then reinstal the motor for the final time. Any ways here is a few pics. The car now is so close to being on the road, that I can smell the exhaust fumes, but first I have to get used to shifting with my left hand. I would hate to downshift to 2nd instead of 4th, that would be bad.

thats awesome. what did you do to the front so far to fit it, or what are you going to do for the rad and such?

[TheSnail]

I took off the sil front end to have painted. Radiator will be a koyo with fd rx7 fans, but for now, Im using a gtr rad with the fd fans. For the front mount, I got a Spearco.

wups, I miss read what you wrote "what did you do to the front so far to fit it". Nothing to the front end needs to be modified for the engine to fit.
